SIMBA
The automatic belt system for manure removal from houses with manure pits
SIMBA, a new system for manure removal via a single-layer belt developed by Big Dutchman, removes manure – usually stored below the slats in the manure pit – from the house at regular intervals. This significantly reduces ammonia emissions and thus improves the environment in the house. The low jump height additionally makes it much easier for the hens to reach the nest.
The special feature of this manure removal system is the new pivoting unit: it deflects the manure belt above the house floor during manure removal and winds the belt around the manure belt drive’s drum. The manure drops onto a cross belt that takes the manure from the house. Scrapers ensure that the belt is cleaned.
After manure has been removed, a cable winch pulls the wound belt back below the plastic slats. Limit switches automatically turn off the system as soon as the belt has been fully unwound.
